Well if it is reporting that your -12 volts is over it's limits, then it can either be: 1. Software is not correct, contact the M/B manufacturer and see if there is an upto date hardware monitor program. 2. Or your power supply is in fact supplying in excess of -12 volts, swap the PSU and see if it cures it. _X_X_X_X_X_[small]Beware of the Pixies - they move in over night and turn your life upside down [/small]
Get a good quality one. Spend as much as you can possibly afford. Nephilim spent more on his power supply than some of us spend on our whole computer.
